farms and
on a
behooves
rfl ffflnt to have our
luine iu the best shape possible.
Sometbinirconstantly proves a fail
nrtamlhaHobe kicked out of
the wav, but that should only
strengthen us to renewed efforts
and greater energy. There will
'v,vsbe some failures, and often
thfv teaeb us our most important
lessons and are by no means vain
nn J useless.
j don't know that we need put
ffreat stress on making new reso
fntions with the coming of the new
year. It should be our purpose
to do our best at all times. There
should be no lapses into indeffer
ent, caieless or evil ways at any
time. It should always be onr
daily delight to do the 'best we can
in all things. It should be the
habit of our lives. That is the
true way to live. There is no ne
cessity for any other. -
So far as morals are concerned,1 a
man doesn't have to wait till camp
meeting time before lie quits his
meanness. The time to quit- is
jiow. Ia fact, he ought never to
have begun. There is no good
sense or excuse for immoral con
duct. This world was so construc
ted by its builder that it always
pays to do right, and brings loss
to do wrong. Short-sighted peo
ple sometimes think otherwise, but
they are mistaken.
The wrong deed brings its own
penalty even before the day of n
ml reckoning. If the farmer. aduU
lerares his butter with lard or
Jeires too much water or salt in
it, the customer' will find him out
and quit trading with him. If
yon mix iu spoile eggs .with good
ones, you will be the greatest los
er. If you are tricky in trade and
make a point of always driving a
'sharp'' bargain, people will find
you out and your character will
soon become so well known that
honest folks will avoid you and
you will have to fight it out with
the "crooks" and v'sharps" of
your own kind, who will not hesi
tate to take every advantage of
you that is possible. They will
consider you legitimate prey, be
cause you laid the first: example.
-Vothing is truer than the old ad
age that hotesty is the best policy.
Another thing we should do is
to find our right place in the world j
and stick tu it. It never pays to
be constantly changing from oue
thing to another, in that way we
are always earning learner's wages
ad make no progress toward ef
liciency and its rewards. It takes
years to learn to do the best woik
in a given line. The lawyer has
to stilrve almost for five or ten
years in order to get a start. It is
nt so bad as that with the farmer,
bt the same principle holds. If
'ou start in the dairy business it
woukl be very foolish to quit at
the end of one year' because . you
bad little more than, cleared - ex
penses. You are then only ready
to mafce a good profit the second
ear, if you have done your duty
;ls a business dairyman Of course,
there may be some ; extraordinary
reasou 1(r quitting at once, but , it
rare. ' N -v . --.il v-;'.
e must not beeomft -disennr'ac-
because things do not thru out
'f ouce as we expected. They
-arely do. Our imagination exag
Kerates anticipated results, so that
he are always disappointing. It
betimes seems that nearly all
that 1 est and mightiest little I thing

we do is a feilure, and yet some
how we keep getting up a little
higher all the time if we do . our
duty. It is wonderful to see what
persistent energy will do in a life
time, by working steadily along
some given line of well-planned en
deavor. Success comes in multitudinous
forms. In our boy hcod days we
counted generals and Ftatesmen as
the only successful deople. It was
thought that success came with
making a great stir in the world.
But how different it seems now!
Some who make the greatest stir
have been the greatest failures and
get the least out of life The quiet
farmer who has made a good mod
est living and comes down to old
age with all his necessary wants
provided for, is a successful man.
He is often more successful than
other men who handle millions of
dollars. If he has lived right and
cared for his family and passed
his days iu harmonious intercourse
with his own and those arouud
him has tried to deal justly with
all and make everybody hapjy
that man is a success. He inay
not be rich enough to move to
town. He may not be worth more
tnau a few thousand, or even u
few hundred dollars, and yet he
may have lived a complete and
satisfactory aud successful life. I
have seen such men, and you have
seen them.
Ye., the new year, as we have
said, comes to us full of glorious
opportunities. All depends upon
how we shall improve them. We
should at once complete our plan
of work for" the yeer make cer
tain about ail the crops that are to
be grown and arrange to grow
them better. Onegreat point
ijouie'-tir make tiieTland better-
make' it more productive by put
ting more humus into it. The
great need of American farmers is
to get into the fertility habit to
think constantly about improving
the fertility of their fields instead
of wearing them out. This is easy
when we once acquire the habit.
Then, instead of making less and
less each succeeding year from our
farms, we shall look forward to
greater and greater crops to the
acre, and greater aggregate yields,
which will add to our holdings and
incroase our wealth, instead of our
.... - v - ..
becoming poorer and poorer ieact
succeeding year, as is now the oasd
with sn manv farmers. It is time
to make a change, and there-is no
better time for this change than in
! this blessed year of 1910. V
High Prices Come to Stay.
Washington Dispatch.
TJie present high prices "for
farm products havejeome to stay;
the rural population is playing
out; the present census, if it class
es the unincorporated villages as
towns, will show between CO and
C5 per cent., "of population living
in towns,' declared Minority Lea
der Champ Clark, of the ,. House,
today. At the present rate, in
20 years the United States wilf
cease to be any exporting nation
for agricultural products, except
as to cotton. , "
"One of the principal causes "of
the high prices of farm products is
the world movement of people to
wards the towns and cities. While
a few people in towns and cities
have gardens and raise 'chickens
and occasionally pigs, practically
the entire town and city popula
tion are no n producers of anything
to eat, but are consumers only.

fixing to take the frozen meat

the intensive system of agricul

limit of agricultural output."
To Go After Night Riders.
Washington; Jan. 3. The govern
ment is preparing to go after the
night riders in the tobacco district
of Kentucky and Tennessee by be
ginning proceedings against the Bur
ley Tobacco Society. Convinced that
the society is a combination and a
conspiracy under the terms of the
Sherman anti-trust law, the Depart
ment of Justice is investigating its
operations on that ground.

A Pretty Good Law.
Statesville Landmark.
A law passed by Congress, rela
tive to shipping whiskey, beer,
etc., into prohibition territory be
came effective on the 1st.- It pro
vides that all packages shipped in
to prohibition territory shall be
plainly marked as to the contents, i one acrfil in
If it is whiskey, beer, wine, malt
or any other spirituous liquid, the
same shall be marked accordingly.
Not only will all packages be plaia-
ly marked, but every- person .get
ting c nch a package will have to
be identified. In plain words, the
man who wants something to cheer
his drooping spirits must order it
ih his own name and own the pack
age when it comes. This will not
stop the shipping of whiskey by
any means, but the fellow who has
been getting it on the sly and his
name is legion- in unmarked pack
ages addressed to fictitious names,
will be put to it to get his booze
unless he comes across and owns
the corn. But where there's a

More Good Farming.
Mr. JVM. Lippard, of Fallston
township, who made such a sue
yess in corn growing in 1908, has
made another record, following the
plans of the demonstration work.
His two best acres last year yield
ed 87 bushels per acre. On four
acres he made 340 bushels. On
1908, Mr. Lipparfl
made 00 bushels He sold 55
bushels for seed at 82 per bushel,
having: 35 bushels left. The acre
was mil a in wheat and last year
was then sowed in peas and yield
